Dialogue systems are entering mainstream society via personalized assistants like Siri and Alexa, and while they are capable communicators, they still have not entirely mastered that crucial ability to be social. This talk will explore how the social capabilities of dialogue systems can be enhanced with conversational behaviors like entrainment, a phenomenon that occurs when interlocutors adapt to one another over the course of a conversation, and we will look at how enhancing social engagement can positively influence other related outcomes.
